This weekend our pals Maria and Alex dropped by for a quick overnight visit, arriving in time to get an eyeful of our nature-boy elder son ("Finny a nudist!") cavorting in the sprinkler. Having taught him to match my water-spitting ways means more chuckles--and more wet shirts--for me.

Meanwhile Henry was his chipper self, exploring (the very patient) Alex's beard ("pull cord for service"?) before guffawing with Dad-O. Finn & Alex also disappeared for a bit to do some drawing, showing Maria's Kansas City house being sucked up and (as he'd hope) carried to SF via tornado. Thanks largely to Maria, here's a little gallery (HTML) of the hijinks.
